Disappearing building/Pegasus helo exploding

[kcole4001]

So I finally found a way to upload a clip to youtube, no thanks to R* Editor.

I had to do it manually, as I had waited twice between 25 and 30 minutes each time for Editor to try to link with my youtube account and it still hasn't succeeded, and I'm not wasting more time trying.

 

This short clip shows my CEO office building vanishing and reappearing as I fly toward it.

 

 

You can see the building (Maze Tower West) almost dead ahead of the helo.

Any ideas why this is happening?

 

Also, very often when I leave my Cargobob parked somewhere it gets destroyed when I get a distance away from it.

These locations include:

on my office roof while I'm in my office

in the courtyard in front of my office building

on the roof of Bahama Mamas across the street from the office

in a field near my bunker

in a field near the Blaine county airfield

on the tarmac at Higgins Helitours

in the yellow lined box in the parking lot behind the auto warehouse next to LSIA

in a vacant lot  or yard in the city

 

Others are reporting similar issues with their Cargobobs blowing up when they get a certain distance away.

 

The last time it happened I noticed on the mini map the bob's icon had changed from the little helo pic to a spinning rotor, as if it were not quite fully resting on a solid surface.

I have parked helos this way before, and if one wheel or skid is resting on an obstacle or protrusion on a roof, for example, it will continue to be represented on map as a spinning rotor.

 Could this have something to do with map glitches that allow players to go under the map?

 

I know it's only $200 to source another bob from Pegasus, but the time wasted going to fetch another one and ferry it back where I want it so it's ready for the next I/E mission is the bigger issue.

Each time it takes between 2-5 minutes depending ion where I am and where I want the bob to be.

This happens often twice an hour or more, and the time wasted easily cuts into more profitable VIP and I/E jobs.

Maze Bank West always does that, even if it is not your CEO office 

 

Pegasus aircraft don't last long before either despawning, or being destroyed

Sorry but both of your points contradict my experience on PC which suggests something's not working properly. Of course, it'd be handy if Help & Support posts required people to state their platform. 

Maze Bank West doesn't spawn in and out like that for me, and I've never had Pegasus aircraft randomly get destroyed that haven't yet had their engines badly damaged, or de-spawned. Even back on Xbox360 I can't recall that ever happening. 

I've parked a Cargobob up at Paleto Bay with the aircraft not-on-flat-ground and now I'm at Terminal waiting more than half an hour for something to happen.

Fair point about the platform 

 

I am on XB1, my previous post happens all the time

 

I used to have MBW CEO office, but recently relocated to Arcadius, it still disappears and reappears

 

I parked a perfectly fine Cargobob Jetsam outside my bunker at Chumash, it blew up as I approached the city in a gun running delivery mission vehicle

 

Regularly, I park a freshly ordered Cargobob Jetsam outside my I/E warehouse on Greenwich Parkway, I go in to sell a car, come outside with the car, heli has gone

Interesting - can anyone recall how long these pop-ins / draw distance problems have been an issue? Can anyone say whether they're noticing reduced draw distance / closer pop-ins after last week's maintenance? 

 

Hmm yeah in normal freeroam shenanigans that shouldn't happen, and that Cargobob seemed to be completely fine when I returned to it up on Paleto Bay.

However I too have noticed that any type of air vehicle (personal / Pegasus / naturally-occuring) can often be 'relocated' (the vanishing Houdini act) in several scenarios, most of which seem to be from the activation of a mission, resupply, sale etc, so maybe that really is the issue and the thing triggering the disappearing act. I could land my personal FH-1 Hunter on the roof of Office buildings and upon leaving to the roof, it's still there. However, trigger one of those freeroam jobs and it magically disappears. 

 

Furthermore, if I have the Avenger out (anywhere), simply entering my Bunker brings up the message "Your Avenger has been returned to the Facility" and I can't fathom out why that happens.

Sorry, should have posted this: I'm on PC.

 

I can say it's definitely not a time related issue, as I have had 4 bobs destroyed in a span of 30-45 minutes, only one had been flown any distance, the next three were paid for and set in place in prep for I/E work.

Either on the Bahama Mamas roof for a steal mission or behind my car warehouse for a sell mission.

 

Once it even happened with a newly spawned bob, picked up at Higgins Helitours and landed on the office roof.

Before I got to the desk to refill my snacks, it blew up and shook the building.

Total time in game for that particular helo was less than 2 minutes (it doesn't take long to fly from Higgins to Maze Bank West).

 

I have never had the helo go on me while I was in my warehouse yet.

Dude this is creepy, I just made a post a few minutes ago in the Site Suggestion about forcing tags stating their consoles
